Graduate Programs - Biomechanics

BiomechanicsStudents may choose to specialize in Biomechanics at either the masters or doctoral
levels. Typically, these
students come from areas such as Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, or Exercise
Science, and many have specialized in biomechanics at the master's
level. They complete courses on topics such as Human Biomechanics, Biomechanical Instrumentation,
Human Locomotion, Kinesiological Electromyography,
Exercise Physiology, and Research and Statistics. In addition, they typically select
cognate courses from Anatomy, Mechanical Engineering, and
Industrial Hygiene. The research focus in the Applied Biomechanics laboratory is on
the application of biomechanics to the solution of applied
problems. Thus, the student's research is often an extension of a problem that they
may have encountered through their own professional and clinical
experience.
